You're Invited!
Sometimes you need another woman who looks at you Sometimes you need another woman who looks at you and says:

“Girl. I know things are crazy right now. But you’ve got this. You’re a baddie.”

THAT is the kind of energy we wanted behind the Mental Health in Forensics Summit.

Not toxic positivity, just real people reminding each other that we’re not in forensic field alone.

And if you missed the summit, you can STILL grab the replays and get a little of that hype-woman energy for yourself.

👇 Comment WELLNESS and we’ll send you the link to the replays.
We asked a stranger to take our picture at Tunnel We asked a stranger to take our picture at Tunnel View in Yosemite. He had a giant telephoto lens, so obviously we assumed he knew what he was doing. 😂

There was just one tiny problem…
We didn’t speak the same language.

He tried to communicate how he wanted us to pose, and somehow we ended up looking like we were taking either:

1. A prom photo from 2004
2. The Step Brothers portrait
3. A very serious engagement announcement
4. The most awkward vacation photo ever taken

We laughed SO HARD about it that we decided we had no choice but to make it a thing.

And thus…
The Pose was born.

So for the rest of the trip, we shot the exact same pose.

Tunnel View? The Pose.
Random scenic overlook? The Pose.
Absolutely ridiculous? Yes.
Did we commit to the bit? Also yes.

Honestly, this might be our favorite souvenir from Yosemite.
Last week, we spent a whole day talking about ment Last week, we spent a whole day talking about mental health in forensics. So… we figured we should probably practice what we preach 😂

We flew across the country for the annual SCAFO conference, but planned a few excursions we could do that had absolutely nothing to do with work:

✅ Get outside and go exploring.
✅ Stare at some really freaking big trees.
✅ Laugh a lot.
✅ Take a break from the constant “what needs to get done?” brain.
✅ And, quite literally, go touch some grass.

Yosemite, you are beautiful - thanks for the memories!

(in all seriousness, Yosemite is absolutely beautiful, highly recommend)
